Why Grafton Is at Risk of Bed Bug Outbreaks
Grafton may not be a major capital city, but its tourism, seasonal accommodation, and backpacker traffic make it a hotspot for bed bugs. These pests are excellent hitchhikers — often travelling in suitcases, clothing, or used furniture.
A single bed bug can lead to a widespread problem in just weeks. They hide in mattress seams, bed frames, furniture joints, and even behind power points. Once established, they’re notoriously difficult to remove without professional help.
What Do Bed Bugs Look Like?
Bed bugs are small, oval, wingless insects. Adult bed bugs are around 4–5 mm long (about the size of an apple seed), reddish-brown, and flat. After feeding, they swell and darken in colour.
Nymphs (juvenile bed bugs) are smaller and lighter — often translucent or yellowish — and harder to spot. Bed bug eggs are tiny (around 1 mm), white, and sticky, usually laid in hidden crevices.

The Bed Bug Life Cycle
Bed bugs go through the following stages:
- Egg (1 mm)
- Nymph Stage 1 (1.5 mm)
- Nymph Stage 2 (2 mm)
- Nymph Stage 3 (2.5 mm)
- Nymph Stage 4 (3 mm)
- Nymph Stage 5 (4.5 mm)
- Adult male or female (4–5 mm)
They can live for several months — and survive without feeding for up to 5 months in the right conditions.
Common Signs of Bed Bugs
- Itchy red bite marks on arms, legs, or back
- Blood spots on bed sheets or pillowcases
- Dark faecal marks around mattress seams or wall edges
- Shed skins or tiny eggs near bed frames or furniture
- A sweet, musty odour in the room
If you’ve noticed any of these signs, call us immediately. Bed bug infestations are easiest to manage early.
Our Bed Bug Treatment Process
Here’s how Detecta Pest handles bed bug issues in Grafton:
- Inspection
A trained technician conducts a detailed inspection of all sleeping areas, furniture, and surrounding rooms. Proper identification is crucial before any treatment can begin. - Treatment Planning
Depending on the infestation level, we may recommend a combination of heat treatment, safe residual insecticides, and follow-up visits to eliminate eggs and emerging bugs. - Follow-Up Service
Bed bugs are stubborn. In most cases, a minimum of two visits is required to fully break the breeding cycle.
Aftercare Support
We’ll provide tailored aftercare instructions including laundering bedding, sealing items, and reducing reintroduction risk.
Commercial Bed Bug Pest Control in Grafton
Bed bugs in commercial settings — especially motels, hotels, student housing, and care facilities — can severely damage your brand, not to mention your guest comfort.
Detecta Pest offers discreet, effective bed bug control for:
- Accommodation providers
- Backpacker hostels
- Retirement and aged care
- Student and worker housing
- Transport and logistics companies (bed bugs can travel via freight!)
We also provide post-treatment documentation, follow-up visits, and support with staff training on prevention.
Why DIY Bed Bug Treatment Doesn’t Work
Store-bought sprays and foggers usually drive bed bugs deeper into hiding. Improper use may even worsen the spread. Because bed bugs hide in tight crevices and reproduce quickly, success depends on experience, precision, and proper tools.
Our treatments target the bugs and their eggs — something most DIY methods simply can’t achieve.
